At least 4000 dead; 26 years wait before a verdict, and the lousy scumbags that are responsible walk away with two years each. They would probably have been sent away to rot if they had tried to pull some stock market swindle and got found guilty of an eco(nonmic)-crime (as we say in Swedish; better be clear what it is though since nowadays there are other types of eco-crimes being committed). If you have wondered what a human life is worth, these things give you the answer: apparently not much. At least not to some; if you’re willing to risk lives of 4000 people (or the biggest ecological disaster the world has ever seen) just to win some market shares, maybe you should be locked away since you’re clearly a menace to society. If your judgement is so blurred by profit, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to manage a company. Accountability is key here. People responsible of things that can’t be seen as anything less than a severe crime (even against humanity?) can’t be allowed to walk free out of the ordeal. If you kill people as a result of you decisions in a board room or if you kill them face to face matter little in the end; they’re still dead.
